Is this the Xperia C4?

We receive a number of anonymous tips in our inbox regularly and trying to separate the credible ones from the rest can be a challenge. This particular one relates to the Sony Xperia C4, expected to be the selfie-phone-with-front-flash successor to the Xperia C3.

A render was sent to us claiming to be that of the Xperia C4. The image shows a large front-facing camera with adjacent LED flash. The handset will apparently launch In May/June with Lollipop. It will also arrive in three colours including black, white and turquoise (the latter can be seen in the pic below). We’ll hopefully find out soon enough if this turns out to be true.

Yeah i don’t see a problem with current design. Don’t make new for the sake of new

its not about bending! omnibalance is saturated! and almost sony phones use omnibalance! its sort of becomes boring and opens up for critisism! look what happened to m9 or s5? people want new, every two years! it looks great but seems to be uninspiring to consumers at times! last year they said.. they would do away with omnibalance.. but it still seems to continue!

It seems lately everyone just posts bend videos. IPhone 6 plus bends at 110 lbs of pressure and breaks at 180. M9 bends AND breaks at 120. Galaxy S6 Edge bends same as iPhone but breaks at 150. What’s the point of new design if it’s easily fragile and breakable? The Xperia line has been looking the same lately, but it gives its premium look and still feels solid. Reliability is what matters.

That’s the new Sony clock in Lollipop, it’s not the only watchface although, you can change it.
Also, imho, it’s just that is different at the beginning, than you get used to it and like it (happened to me) :)

Do we need a new design? I think the C4 is already having a new design. Xperia Arc like design. That’s a good one. Plus i think the rounded power button is very Sony so i don’t think that should get replaced. It’s not like the early days of feature phone design feast is still upon us.

“Terrorist win”.. And then “Go Go Go!”

if you think the s6 is a new design, that’s just because they are going Sony’s way (double glass) why would you think Sony needs a new design if that’s the way the big guns are following? plus if there’s no edge, I’m sure people will be get bored quickly with s6.

Why is Sony making phones with large top bezels and tiny bottom bezels ? If one bezel needs to be larger they should rather make it the bottom bezel, it would look less weird and be less awkward to reach for the “back – home – recent apps”

dude really? i’m serious sony fan! sandwich glass set up wasn’t invented by sony! then omnibalance copied the dual glass set up from iphone 4 and nexus 4! i don’t you guys at times! did i ever mention s6’s design in my previous comment? its just that omni balance is saturated! very less to improvise on! its not as inspiring as it was z man! understand!

simplicity can be implemented on a new design as well! you know they could opt for a full carbon fibre build to give you real premium feel! aluminium is too mainstream! with the new language.. they can get the excitement running! we wouldn’t have omnibalance if they never ditched the language used on s and ion! it gives way for something greater!

It is the C4 and also new pics of Z4 leaked and some additional info about ULTRA

why would a new design be fragile? they could for a carbon fibre shell to make it light, by using it.. they can add in a few extra mAh of battery! aluminium is too mainstream and by choosing carbon fibre construction, you can give a premium feel and add IP to it! and voila you have a more premium phone with omnibalance’s strenghts!
